...Upgrade with another 512 Stick of RAM, Would improve performance and stability somewhat. The down side to this PC, is that it is abit noisy, and I wouldn't recommend it if your looking for a Silent PC to be left on whilst sleeping, etc. Another dissapointment is the lack of a physical graphics card.

The Small print ------------------------------ The most common problem with most ultra-small form factor computers is cooling and chunky external power supplies (Xbox 360 anyone?)
